ADMISSIONS -- INFIELD FOR GRANDSTAND EVENTS

  • Infield, for events where it is available, $5 per person (in addition to gate admission).  This is because the people are not paying for a grandstand ticket.

HOURS

  • There are things going on at the fair as early as 9 in the morning if you are an exhibitor. 
  • If you would like to visit over lunch hour and enjoy some fair food, we are not charging admission at the gate on Monday through Friday until 1pm.
  • If your interest in the fair is to visit the midway, pay attention to the Carnival Hours.  There is not a set time that the fair closes - it depends on crowd levels.  Generally things are going pretty strong until at least 10 or 10:30 in the evening.

SEASON BOX SEATS

6 seats each show (11 sessions) $140.00 and $170.00

 

 

BOX SEATS VERSUS GRANDSTAND SEATS

Box seats are the first 4 rows closest to the track and are folding chairs in boxes of 5 or 6.  (5 seat boxes have a support pole in the box.)  In addition to being more comfortable, box seats are the only seats that may be reserved before the event.

Pick up your reserved box seats at this window

Grandstand seats are bleachers, in the rows behind the box seats.  Grandstand seats may be purchased at the entrance to the grandstand an hour before the show begins.  Grandstand seating is first come, first served, with no reserved seating.

Buy your grandstand tickets here 1 hour before

HOW TO PURCHASE BOX SEATS

Box seats may be reserved by telephone by calling Phil at the fair phone number (367-8461).  Box seats begin selling at the beginning of July, but although by fair week they have been available for reservation for more than a month already there are still good seats.  Reservations are taken by phone until approximately 2:30pm.  Tickets should be picked up at the ticket window of the fair office building before the show.  Please don't wait until right before the show, for you will be waiting in a very long line to get your tickets.  Come in the morning - during the weekdays, the gate does not charge admission until 1pm.  Credit Cards are not accepted; you must pay by cash.
